[It’s] Great to be back in New York. It is great to be back…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Thank you very much.
What an honor. What a nice hanger. What a lot of people! That’s great…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, they said we broke the all-time record in Watertown, and…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…soon, we’re gonna be doing something more important. We’re gonna be breaking the all-time record in job production. We’re gonna get jobs back, all right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We’ll get the jobs back, all right? And I promise you. And we’re gonna…by the way, just so you understand, we’re gonna clouse up our borders. People are coming into the country…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…but they’re coming legally.
You have a big drug problem. A big heroin problem. We're gonna end it, folks. We’re gonna end it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [It’s] really poisoning our youth, and you have the problem up here. And somebody said to me…you know, in New Hampshire I won. I won New Hampshire, and I was with the folks. And I said, “what do you think? What’s the biggest problem?”.
They said, “heroin”.
I said, “heroin!?”. Because, you know, you're looking at these beautiful fields, and valleys, and trees…; and I said, “how could that be your biggest problems?”.
They said, “our biggest problem, heroin”.
And, I hear you have the problem too, and we're gonna stop it, folks! We’re gonna stop it! We're gonna stop it. We’re gonna build a wall. We’re gonna have strong borders…; we’re gonna stop it! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's crazy! What we're going through as a country is crazy. So, just get out. Remember! Tuesday! [You] Gotta get out and vote! We gotta vote! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Because, you know, the truth is we have a movement going on. It’s in the cover of Time Magazine, the cover of everything.
And they say, “it’s a phenomena like we've never seen in this country”. No matter where I go. No matter where I go! And I wanted to come up to Watertown. I heard so many things, folks! [It’s] Beautiful! [It’s] Beautiful! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [It’s] Beautiful!
And I know why the call it Watertown, cause I flew over and there’s a lot of water. That’s pretty good…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. You know, I always say…in real estate, you never lose money with water! Rivers, lakes, and oceans. So he should be making a lot of money up here, folks, cause  you got plenty of lakes and plenty of water…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, here's the one problem, right? And we get this taken care of. If I’m elected, we gotta taken care of…fast! Cause we’re gonna bring our jobs back. We’re not gonna be losing our jobs to Mexico and all of these other places.
So, I …I went, [and] I said to my people, “give me some…numbers”. And Steven came up and he gave you some…talk. And it's depressing, when you see it! It's depressing! According to the…United States Bureau of Labor Statistics the number of manufacturing jobs in Watertown has decreased by 50 percent in not that long a period! That's a lot of jobs! Come on, folks, let’s get with it! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. Right? I mean, yeah, that's a lot of jobs! But we’ll them back.
You know what? Because of…stupid…government…deals. Because of horrible…trade…deals between NAFTA and everything else. They don't know what they're doing! We have politicians…that don't…know…what…they're going. And in some cases they do! Like Cruz and these guys. They have all these people funding them, and all these people are not for your best interest!
Now, he’s not for your best interest for another reason: New York values. He said that with hatred in his eyes…New York values…–THE CROWD BOOS. But actually, he's not the problem, cuz he's now in third place! So, I don't even know if he’s a…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Now, Kasich, for anybody thinking…you know, as an alternative to him…Kasich…approved NAFTA! He voted for NAFTA!  NAFTA emptied out your businesses! TPP, which they're both in favor of, TPP…you know that is, Trans-Pacific Partnership will make NAFTA…look like a baby! It's gonna be so bad for the United States; so bad for this region…; it'll be terrible. So, we're gonna end it, folks. It's not gonna happen with me. Believe me! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We’re bringing our jobs back!
So, Watertown lost one-third of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2001. That's not good! It's one of the great…job…thefts in history. It's called the World…Trade…Organization, that's when China went in. Actually, honestly? What China is done…to our country, because of our politicians that don't know truly how…they're incompetent; what China's done to our country is the greatest…theft…in the history of the world. It's really true! They've taken our jobs; they've taken our…people; they’ve taken our money…!
You know, we have now a trade deficit with China of 505…billion dollars…you’ve 505 billion! A year. And it's gonna remain that way. And honestly, it's been that way for a long time! It's a great tribute to our country that we can lose that much money for that long, and here we still have a country! But we’re not gonna have…; we’re in a bubble. We’re not gonna have it so much longer.
You know, I told the story the other day. A friend of mine is [a] very healthy guy, [a] very…strong guy, [he has] always very strong. [He] Got sick! [He] Got very, very sick. And, he was supposed to have passed away a long time ago, actually. A very good guy, but tough! [A] Tough guy! And, uh…you know, strong. But he got very, very sick. And…he was supposed to be dead a year ago. And he just keeps hanging in, hanging in, hanging it! And he won't die. And I call him every day, “how [are] you doing!?”
“I'm doing okay. I'm doing okay! I'm telling you, I'm gonna be okay!”
Uh…fantastic…you know, he was literally supposed to be dead…one year ago. It's like a country! The way our country is, right now…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBÑLE–…the way our country is, right now, with all these horrible deals…the horrible trade deals; the horrible NAFTA, when you look at what it’s done to us.
Uh…when you look at NATO, and our military…! We’ve 28 countries, it's…68 years old. They asked me about it the other day. 60…think of it! 68 years old! They asked me. I said, “it's obsolete and we paid too much”. And we're paying for these countries, and they're not carrying their weight! They're not carrying their weight!
And I made the statement. I said, “look, you always have to be prepared to walk”. I don't wanna walk from NATO! But it is obsolete! Because a big problem now is terror, and that's not set up for terror! That was set up against the Soviet Union and other things. But we don't have a Soviet Union. But we still have a problem with Russia. So, it's…okay. It's okay to keep it. But they have to pay their weight!
So, you have many of these countries, they’re not paying what they're supposed to be paying! With me, they're gonna pay or they’re gone! Okay? You know, we protect them! They're gonna pay! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Somebody said, “oh, you're sure…”. And I'll do it nicely! I'll say, “look you haven't paid in a long time, you gotta pay. And if you don't pay you gone!”. We're not gonna be…; we can't be the policemen to the world anymore, folks! We owe 19 trillion dollars…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and it was sort of interesting. One of the reporters asked me. They said, “well, does that mean that you would break up?”.
And I said, “look, it'll be just fine! They're gonna pay!”. When we leave, we may have to leave for one day, and then they'll call up, “okay, okay, we'll pay!”. They're not gonna wanna be out there alone.
But we have to modernize it. We have to make it, or have an alternative for terror, because we have to knock the hell out of ISIS. We have to rebuild our military! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [We] Gotta do it!
But they were talking about NATO. And I said, “not only do they have to pay, but they're delinquent”. We have businesses, right? You have apartments. They’re delinquent! They owe us money from the back! They gotta pay the money they owe us for the last many years! They…nobody asks them! I guarantee you this: they don't pay! Nobody calls them. Do you think anybody says, “you…didn't pay?”. They don't pay! Who can blame them!?
You know, I don't blame China. I don't blame…Mexico. I don't blame Japan…for taking advantage of us. I blame our leaders, for being stupid people! Okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I blame our leaders.
So, let's go…let's go into a couple of more depressing factors, and then I'll give you the good news: we're gonna change it, okay? That's the good news. Cause you don't wanna leave. I’ll tell you, don't leave. This place is gorgeous. We'll bring back the jobs. Once we get the jobs back, we're all set. We get the jobs back, we get rid of the heroin and we’re all set, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
There were more people in the labor force in Watertown in 1990 than there is today. That's not good. In other words, we’re supposed to be growing and we’re going the opposite direction.
The workforce in Watertown is shrinking and nearly 5,000…more people in labor force…wow! In just…uh…five years, you have lost 5,000 jobs. [It’s] No good! It's not that big a place, right!? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS-…you know…;
The number of people employed in Watertown was higher in 2008 than it was today. Watertown is home to Fort Drum, that's a great place! Who’s…!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Oh, I love For Drum! I love…I love the military! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You're in Fort Drum!? …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY SPECIFICALLY IN THE CROWD. Beautiful!
So, how many people are at Fort Drum!? And they love Trump! The military likes Trump! And we're gonna take care of…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and folks, you know, our…our military's been decimated, okay? And…these…these people know it better than anybody. We're gonna build up our military bigger, better, stronger than ever before…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We need it more than we've ever needed before. We're gonna make it bigger, better and stronger than ever before. Nobody's gonna mess with us. And we're gonna take care of our veterans, because our veterans…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…have been…absolutely treated unfairly. So, you passed the word back, okay? …to the veterans.
[Are there] Any veterans here? [Are there] Any veterans…? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Folks, you passed the word around, let me tell you. Good. Good-looking veteran. You look too young to be a veteran…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY SPECIFICALLY. THE CROWD LAUGHS. So, we're gonna take care of that. Okay. [A] Couple of more…horrible factors here.
Labor force participation…I don't even have to tell you tell you. It’s a…one of the worst levels ever. New York State has lost three out of four…this is the state. Three out of four manufacturing jobs, since 1960. In other words, three out of four. That's most of the jobs. And then we wonder why our taxes are so high, right? That's one of the reasons you’re losing the jobs, cause your taxes are so high.
Cruz and Kasich uh…supported TPP, eand they support giving Obama more trading authority, which is not…you don't wanna give Obama trading authotity cause he’s a…–THE CROWD BOOS–…he’s a lousy negotiator except when it comes to negotiating with the Republicans, [that] he gets everything he wants, right? You saw the last budget, the Omnibus Budget? He got money from Obamacare…for Obamacare.
Now, Obamacare! We're going to…repeal it and replace it, 100 percent! It’s a disaster…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [It’s a] Disaster.
But in the last budget, they got money…for Obamacare, to keep funding it. It's losing a fortune. Your premiums are going up…35, 45, 55 percent. I mean, they’re going through the roof. Your deductibles are so high…that unless you're close to death, you'll never use it. And then you don't care, right? …–THE CROWD MUTTERS…if we don't…; close to death…uh…whatever it is, right? But, unless you're close to…it…you…you see what's going on with your deductibles? You can't…you'll never be able to use it! So, your paying all this money for something you're not gonna be able to use.
Uhm…when you look at this, here: Chinese currency. Now, Cruz…fought so hard…so that China…you know, I…one of the many reasons I'm against TPP…it’s no good anyway, but the worst element is…that currency manipulation is the single…greatest…weapon these countries have, in particular China and Japan, have to just absolutely destroy us.
Take a look at what's happening to Caterpillar Tractor, because so much business is going to Komatsu because of what Japan has done to the Yen, right? So currency manipulation. And Cruz insists that we cannot have any language talking about currency manipulation in TPP. Number one, we shouldn't have TPP, but if you're gonna have it, you gotta have currency manipulation language. And he's fighting.
Now, what does that mean!? That means that, probably, somebody is taking care of him! Right? That means and somebody representing China, or representing a company for China, or representing something having to do with the company that does…business with China, doesn't want that in there! Because these guys…;
So, I'm self-funding. All of this is mine. When I fly in, I…it’s on my dime, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s on my dime.
And what that does that mean? That means I'm not controlled by…the special interest, by the lobbyists. And they control…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…they control crooked Hillary[MGF1] , and they control…Lyin Ted Cruz, right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They control Lyin Ted.
[Did] you ever see a guy like this!? …–THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’­–…you know? He'll walk into a meeting with the Bible held high…“this is lyin Ted Cruz!”. Everyone knows he's a liar! What he did to Ben Carson, who endorsed me by the way, who's a great guy…;
[Do you] Remember in Iowa? He said, “Ben Carson has left the race!”. He didn't leave the race! “Wote for me!”. This was on election day! I mean, this wasn't like…you know, two days later or three days before…on election day, right!? He said, “Ben Carson has left the race!”.
Then, right after the polls closed he called up Ben, “Ben, I'd like to apologize. I didn't know” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. He's lyin Ted! He's no good, I'm telling you! He’s no good. [He’s a] Bad guy. He’s a bad guy, [and] he's a bad liar!
He said the other day…[he] said, “I won Utah! And I've won…! I'm the only one, consistently, that beats Donald Trump!”. You know, I've got 22 states. He's got…what does he have, 9 or 10!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'm leading him…by millions, and millions of votes! Millions of votes! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So, I'm leading him by millions…and yet I watch him talking!
And if you listened to him, you think he's winning! He’s…he got…first of all, he's got no road to the nomination in my opinion…and…he doesn't! Uh…mathematically…; after this weekend, when he gets wiped out in New York, which he will! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. He gets wiped out.
He no longer has a road to the nomination. He will no longer…after this weekend, because it should be…it should be pretty thorough, because who would…? After he talked about New York values…and talked about it in such a disgusting way, who would in New York would vote for this guy!? …–THE CROWD BOOS. And who in New York would vote for…the other guy, who…is in favor of…of…the NAFTA!? So, you can’t. So, it…I'm sorry, folks! You only got Trump! That's all you have! You have to have it! Okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You would be so happy…!? You are going to be so happy…; you will be thrilled, believe me.
I'll tell you what, you will leave…and you will vote on Tuesday. You're gonna bring your friends, bring everybody. It will be…the greatest zone that you ever cast. You will look back in four years, in ten years…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY–…you will look back and you will say, “that's when job started coming back. That is what we started winning again”. You will be so happy, and you will be so thrilled! Do I hear somebody? …–MR. TRUMP REFERS TO A PROTESTER. Go home! Go home! Go, go, go! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.  Go home! Get them out of here! Get them out! Get out of here!
You know…don't…I mean, they really do impede our free speech, you know. Now, in the old days it used to be much rougher for them. Today nobody touches them. And of course that’s good, that’s fine…–THE CROWD BOOS.
You know, when I started…and I have a guy, like…I mean, you know, what are they doing!? I don't even know what he's holding up. He's only almost a piece of paper. Some cardboard. Usually it's made in a factory and handed to these people. They had some of the other day in front of the Grand Hotel, which I build, in Manhattan! And they had some guys..:; and the press went up to them, “why are you here!?”. And they couldn't answer…they didn't know! “Why are you here!? Why are you demonstrating!?”.
Uh…well, uh…I don't know! I was told to be here”. They're a bunch of phonies, let me tell you. It's a bunch of phonies. It's a whole…it's a whole phony deal! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Just like what's happening with the Republican Party in terms of this delegate deal. I'm…so, I’m leading with all the delegates. I'm leading with the votes, by a lot. I'm winning…leading with the delegates by a lot, but what's going on…with delegates, and what's going on with our party…we gotta give them back to the people, folks. Cause it's no good. It’s all…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…it’s all rigged! It's a rigged deal.
You know, you look at Colorado! And…and I watch the RNC's, he’s a nice guy, Reince [Priebus]. He’s a nice guy, but he said, “well, we haven't changed…!”.
Well, I went in in June. In August, they changed! And the reason they changed was cause they saw I was going to win Colorado! So, the way we do it is we give it to the bosses! So, Colorado, their vocalist take it away. Wyoming…their…vote was taken away!
Now, I like to run. We have a lot of good businesses there. I run…a smart campaign. I’m putting up my own money, so I'm not gonna waste money. So, I could have people go there four months ago, five months ago…but I don't wanna waste money, especially when maybe, and the end of the whole process... –AT THIS POINT, 00.16.20, THE AUDIO AND VIDEO BREAK UNTIL 00.16.41–…that just about anybody else. I mean, Jeb Bush had a 148 million dollars that he spent…–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY–…and he was killed! And his actual campaign was bigger than that. That was just his fund.
I spent just about…less money…than anybody else and I’m in first place by a lot! Don't you want that to be a president!? Don’t you want it!? To me, that means something…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, when I went to New Hampshire…and I spent two million dollars, and others…people were…and I was in first place by a lot! You know, we won New Hampshire in a landslide, South Carolina in a landslide; Nevada in a landslide…; …–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. Like 21 or 22 states! We won them in a landslide, and I spent less money! That's what you want, folks! We wanna spend less money and get the best! That's we want, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
I look at some of these projects that we have in this country, [and] I just…I’m like…at amazement, where you have a project and it’s got…it comes in at four times more than projection, and six times more…than projection. Even military spending! They buy things and they don't even want! They buy them because the company is selling the item! Whatever it may be, is very politically connected. They don't want that item! They want another item, but that company makes a better product, but they're not politically connected! So, they get the item that we're talking about. It ends up costing much more than they ever thought, and I think say, “gee, I wonder why?”. It’s because your politicians work it out, folks.
And we're not gonna have any more of that. We’re gonna have a real country again, with borders, and strength, and intelligence…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, when I look at these numbers…uh, they are…I’m so disappointed in you…ay, ay, ay…! Infrastructure, a total disaster, that you know. Look at that. Yeah, infrastructure. Well, we know that. All over New York it’s a disaster. Hey, the hell with it! …–MR. TRUMP THROWS THE PAPER HE’S READING. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…look…we're gonna straighten... look, we're gonna straighten it out! It's gonna be great! And just hang in there, folks. Just hang in there.
When I'm president…and I love this state. I know the states so well…! I know this area! But I love this state, and we're gonna straighten it out. We're gonna get jobs back, and they’re gonna pour back in. And it's the single…biggest…thing! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And jobs…jobs will cover up a lot of problems! You know, once you have jobs, that’s gonna cover up a lot of problems. But we can continue…; you can continue to go…!
When used is 40, 50, 60 percent of your jobs, and manufacturing is going down the tubes!? I mean…you can’t do that! You can’t do it! You haven't had an effective pay increase in 18 years! Think of that: 18 years. And then they wonder why Trump has the most people at the rallies.
I have bigger rallies than anybody by far. Why does Trump…? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Why does Trump have the big rallies? Why do so many people come?
Now, a lot of it has to do…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT­–…what? I love you too! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I do! I actually do…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I must love you or I wouldn't be doing this! Who the hell needs to do this on a Saturday afternoon!? Right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
It’s…my family! …–THE CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. Thank you!
My family…sometimes Ivanka, Melania, my kids, they’re all good. They said…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…they said, “dad, why…uh…why are you doing…? You don’t have to do this! You have such a good…!”.
I built this great company. I took a million dollars, and I built a company that's worth more than a ten billion dollars in a fairly short period of time…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I have…some of the most iconic, some of the greatest assets in the world. Very little debt, tremendous cash flow, and I say it for one simple reason: because…that's…and I couldn’t care less about it. Because…I’ll let the kids run it, I’ll let the managers run it, it’s so simple!  
Let me tell you, I'm…doing this because that's the kind of thinking our country needs. We have 21…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…we have very soon 21 billion…uh…it…think of it! We have 21 trillion dollars…trillion! Nobody even knows what the hell of trillion is! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. What's a trillion!? Ask! Nobody knows what a trillion is! You know, not so long ago, you never heard the term trillion. Now it's like routine.
So we have 21 very soon that horrible Omnibus budget…which by the way, financed Obamacare…extension, financed people coming in from Syria, that we have no idea who they are…where they are…–THE CROWD BOOS. We have no…they’ve no paperwork, no documentation…;
So, here's the story folks. Here's the story. Many…we’re gonna end up…we…don’t worry about it, we’re gonna…we…trust!
You know, when I first did this, when I first came…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT­–…they gotta go. No, no they gotta go. This is beyond the wall! It…they fly them in, okay? This is beyond the wall. They fly over the wall! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Look, look: we're gonna be now the smart country. We're not gonna be the dummies anymore. We're gonna be the smart country. We’re gonna be…the smart country. And we're gonna have to send them back. We have no idea who they are…; there's no documentation whatsoever…; and we'll help them…build a safe zone in Syria someplace. And I'll get…and I’ll get the Gulf states, who by the way, are not carrying their weight! They've got a lot of money! They're not taking the migrants! You know, there's no migration going into the Gulf states! They're gonna pay for it! We’ll supervise it!
Hey, I have a bigger heart than anybody. We…we…you know, it's a problem! You look at that migration, although it is strange, cause you see so many young, strong men, right? Did you ever see anything…? I said, “where are the women!? Where are the children!? What's going on!?”. You have young, strong men. And then coming into our country. And they're coming in by the thousands.
[Do you] Remember I said a big number, and everyone said, “that’s ridiculous! He's talking about 3,000!”. Well, the 3,000 is gone, the 10,000 is gone, and now they're talking about tens of thousands of people are pouring into our country. We don't even know who the hell they are or where they come from, and let me tell you: you're gonna have a problem! It's gonna be a big, ugly problem! And we’d better be careful, and we’d better be smart, and we’d better be vigilant, or our country's in big trouble!
If you look at what happened in California, where the two people…where she radicalized him, and they killed and co-workers…14 people; lots of people in the hospital, and…their lives will never be the same. But you look at that…and by the way, speaking of that, [the] Second Amendment! If…there were guns on the other side of that room…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…right? And there were guns on the other side of that room, with a couple of these guys like…where's that guy from Drum? Right there, right there…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. If he had his gun and he's standing on the other side…!? You don't have 14 people dead! You have a couple of bad ones dead, but you don't have a 14 people!
[It’s the] Same thing…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…same thing in Paris! I mean, my own campaign changed! It was…and actually, when Paris happened, because of the fact that they say that they do great on security. People have confidence in me. I’m not gonna let people…I’m not…you trust me! You do trust me, and I appreciate it! But, I will be the best military by far, and what happened with Paris, 132 people killed, and they just sitting ducks. I mean, these guys, these animals walk in: boom, boom, boom, boom! 130 people killed. Tremendous numbers of people right now in the hospitals, that nobody even know…it…ruined for life, many of them will die, seriously, seriously wounded. And, you know what? If there were guns in that room outside of the bad…thugs?  
First of all, they might not ever come in, okay? Because, they’d say, “oh, wow, I’m not going in there. There’re guns!”. But, if they did go in, the…the…casualties might be very little. And you know what? They would have been gone very, very quickly! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, we have to protect…we have to protect…our…Second…Amendment, okay? And nobody is gonna mess with it! Nobody! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank you.
So, when I started this on June 16th and I came down the escalator with Melania and it was great, and…everybody was happy, and I started talking about illegal immigration, which would have never even talked about if I didn’t bring it up. And I talked about the crime, and I took a lot of heat. And I talked about all of the problems, and I talked about the drugs pouring across, and everything! And then…two, three weeks later everyone’s saying, “he’s right”. Now they all copy me. Isn’t it incredible? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS.
I even heard lyin Ted the other day said, “we must build the wall!” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I said, “where did that come from!? Where did it come from!?”. He's a liar! He's a liar!
But, you know what? We have to build a wall. And we have to do many other things. And we have to be vigilant. And we have to be smart. And we have to watch. And we have to see. And when you see something that's wrong, you’ve to report it to your police. Cause there's nobody like the police!  The police are so great! They don't get the credit they deserve…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They don't get the credit they deserve…! But you have to report it to your police! And…we take care of it.
You know, when they had these…14 people that were killed, the two people…they had bombs all over their floor! Everybody knew they were up to something…bad! They had bombs! I mean, you don’t walk into too many…houses and you see bombs all over the floor, right? People saw it! They all knew! One person said they didn’t wanna do it, and they didn't wanna have a racial profiling. In other words, the lawyer said, “you've got a problem. You knew this was here, [so] you’d better make up some excuse”. So they said ‘racial profile’. Do you believe that? When you see a problem, you gotta report it!
But they aren't reporting the problems! I mean, they just caught the one guy. He was living right next to where he grew up! And he was there for months and months! They don't use the word ‘mastermind’ anymore…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS–…because I went, I said, “don’t call them ‘minstermind’”. You know, they’re ruining our youth with the internet. They’re taking our youth! And they’re going over to fight, ISIS! And they're calling the head guy, with the white cap, the guy that I call ‘the guy with the dirty cap’, they’re calling him ‘a mastermind’. And for two weeks I pounded the press. And now they don’t use the word…I haven’t heard the word ‘mastermind’ anymore.
But then you wonder, how come…they're able to use our Internet better than we are, and they're taking kids out of here…and the fighting for ISIS!?”. For whatever reason, they’re fighting for ISIS.
And let me tell you something: [if] anybody leaves our country and fights for ISIS, they never, ever come back into this country! Remember that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, right now, they leave our country…they leave our country, they fight for ISIS, [and] they come back! Like nothing ever happened! Because here's what's gonna happen: someday they're not gonna leave! They're gonna be fighting us right here. They're not gonna leave! Why should they leave!?
So, [if] anybody leaves our country, they're not coming back. They're gone, gone, gone, forever! Okay? Forever…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so, here's the story folks: we don't win anymore…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE­–…thank, honey. Oh, yeah go ahead. [A] Very aggressive person…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. Go ahead. She wants to ask me a question. Go ahead.
If I don’t like it…you…nobody can hear her, I hope. Go ahead! Let’s go. She’s reading her wuestion off her phone. Go ahead!
…–THE WOMAN IN THE CROWD INTERVENES.
Ah, that’s okay. Oh, this sounds bad…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Come on, let’s go! Let’s go, you’re holding all these people, darling!
…–THE WOMAN IN THE CROWD INTERVENES. IN THE MEANTIME, A PERSON IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘I LOVE YOU DONALD TRUMP!’. THE CROWD CHEERS.
I can’t hear her question, look, let’s forget the questions, right? Okay, thank you…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Okay. Thank you. I can’t hear the question.
Okay, so here’s…[a] very aggressive person, but that's okay. She’s probably very…and you must be very successful…–THE WOMAN TRIES TO INVERVENE AGAIN­–…no, no, that's enough…–THE CROWD laughs. That's enough. I think the question was nice, but…it wasn't…you know, it wasn't like a question. I don't think a lot of people would have been interested…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Of course I will! I will help the moral state of the country! And you know what I'll do!? I'm gonna bring our country together! Because our country right now is divided! And I'm gonna bring…our…country…together! Everybody! Everybody! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. The safest place to be…in this country…is at a Trump rally. And you listen to the press, “oh, woah…!”. The safest place to be is that, because the people here love each other! But we’re gonna love…everybody. We're gonna love…women, men, children…elderly, every…! We’re gonna take care of every…; white, African-American…everybody! We're all gonna come together as a country, and we're gonna be a strong, great, country again! Right now we're a divided country! And we're gonna make this country something special!
And I've gone all over the country! All over the country, and I had the biggest crowds of anybody by far. 35,000 people in Alabama; 22,000 people in Dallas. [We] filled up the whole map…Mavericks Arena. We are…and always, the biggest crowds. And always, the people…are…unbelievable in this country. All they need…is some help! We need smart decision-making. We need one strong military, not and decimated military. We need…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…we need help for our veterans! Because, you know, the people in the military now, they say…well, they're gonna be a veteran in the future, and they lose they come…they lose their faith when they see what's happening to our veterans! It's not fair to the people…that are veterans, or the people that are serving! So, we gonna take of them.
But here's the story, folks. [Are you] Ready? We don't win anymore. The truth is we don’t. We don’t win anymore. We use…used to win, [but] we don’t win anymore! We don’t win at any level! We lose at everything. We don’t win…you’re gonna win with me. You’d better believe it. You’re gonna win with me. …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You’d better believe it.
I mean, my family…I was gonna say before. My family said, “what do you do this for!?”. That’s a lot of work. It is a lot of work! And it takes guts to run for president! [It’s] Not so easy! You know, I'm proud to say…I wasn't a politician until …uh…June…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. But, and I'm not a politician now, folks. But…but, there's so much potential in this country and I love this country, and I wanna give back! I made a lot of money, I had a great success, I’ve had…I’ve had a lot of fun doing it too! I’ve loved…doing it! I’ve loved every…moment…I've been…alive in this country. And we're gonna give back! And we're gonna…take communities that are incredible, with incredible people, and we're gonna bring back! We're not gonna be the first people that allow…other countries to take our factories! And to take our jobs! We're not gonna allow it to happen anymore!
So, here's a song. You're gonna go and you’re gonna vote, hopefully, on Tuesday. And you’re gonna look back…you're gonna look back on today, and you're gonna say: “we were in this beautiful airplane hangar…”, which is very nice, actually! Look at how beautiful weather! But we…I have this very heavy coat. I said, “do [you] think I need the coat?”. I’m glad I didn’t wear it, it’s pretty hot out here! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
But, you're gonna look back and you’re gonna say, “that was the incredible day! That was a great afternoon! A beautiful afternoon with…fantastic, beautiful, and incredible people” that were your friends and are you friends, and you’re together as a community. But that was the day that we went out, because of that day…and we voted…the following Tuesday, and…“that was the greatest…single…vote…I’ve ever cast”. You’ re gonna say that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. And you're gonna look back in two years…you…especially the guys at Fort Drum, right!? Especially, right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Because I’m…I’m with you. I'm with you, people, more than anybody else by far! You're gonna be so happy! Because you are proud! You're proud. You…are proud of the military, and you look at some of the equipment…;
A friend of mine…has a son…who's over in…Iraq. And he said, “the most disappointing thing…”, and you may be able to…uhm…you know, endorse just to say it, all of the folks from Fort Drum! He said, “we fight the enemy, and the enemy…has newer equipment than we do! And it’s our equipment!”.
And they get it by taking it away from people that we give it too, that we thinking are…good! But they’re not good. Or they run when the first bullet is fired. They drop it, they run, and these guys picked up our equipment. He said, “we’re fighting with old equipment, like the Humvees!”. They have Humvees with no plate! And the…the enemy took…2,300…armor-plated…Humvees…away…from people that we gave them to, like you can take candy…from a baby! Those days are over, folks! It’s not gonna happen anynmore! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Is that a correct story, right!?
So…so, here's the story: you’re gonna go bote. You gotta go vote. Everybody in this room! Now, if you're not gonna vote for me, don't vote…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
[Did] you ever hear the politicians? They always say, “it makes no difference whether you're going to vote for me or my opponent, but you must go out and vote! It's a great American treasure!”. Okay.
Me? I say differently. If you’re not gonna vote for me, don’t vote, okay? Don’t vote” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. Sit home…sit home and watch television.
But I have a feeling [that] everybody in this crowd…is anybody in this crowd not gonna vote for Trump!? Everybody gonna vote for Trump!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Okay. Okay. I…I believe that actually.
Look, you’re gonna say…you’re gonna say, looking back two years, four years, eight years, ten years, 25 years…you’re gonna say, [that] when you cast that vote, it was the greatest vote you ever cast, because that's…when our country…started winning…again! We're gonna win on trade. We're gonna win on you jobs. We’re gonna bring your jobs back. We’re gonna win on the economy. We’re gonna win on our vets. We're gonna win for our military…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna knock the hell out of ISIS! We're gonna win with our military. We're gonna win with our borders. We're building the wall. Mexico is going to pay for the wall, by the way…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We're gonna get rid of the drugs. We're gonna win on that front. We're gonna win with education. We're getting rid of Common Core. We're gonna bring education local…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna reveal it replace Obamacare. We're gonna replace it with something so much better.
Folks, we're gonna start winning, winning, winning, winning…! You're gonna be so proud of your president, and that…I don't care! You're gonna be so…proud…of your country…again.
So, get out there on Tuesday…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and vote. I love you, Watertown! Get out and vote! And we're gonna have a big, big success in New York! Thank you! Thank you, everybody! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s a great honor to be here! Thank you! Thank you everybody! Thank you!
